[Intro]
\nWhat’s the forecast?
\n(Will it last?)
\nRain?
\n(Or pain?)
\n… pouring on the brain<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nLookin’ out the window
\n(What do I see?)
\nClouds on the horizon
\n(Comin’ after me)<\/p>\n
Sun was shining
\n(Just a minute ago)
\nNow the rain is falling
\n(Whoa, whoa, whoa!)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nCould be sunny
\nCould be rain
\nCould be calm
\nCould be insane<\/p>\n
Could be mild
\nCould be wild
\nCould be something
\nWe haven’t compiled<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nThe weather forecast
\n(Forevermore uncertain)
\nThe whether forecast
\n(Nevermore… for certain)<\/p>\n
Know what I mean?
\n(Extreme!)
\nWhether or not
\n(We’ve got…)
\nEXTREME!<\/p>\n
(Know what I mean)
\nThe scene:
\n(Extreme)<\/p>\n
Real lean…
\n(On serene)
\n… know what I mean?<\/p>\n
EXTREME!<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nForecast says a sprinkle
\n(Grab your coat!)
\nThen the sky comes crashing
\n(Grab your boat!)<\/p>\n
Little cloud
\n(Becomes a storm)
\nWhat’s unusual
\n(Becomes the norm)<\/p>\n
Wind starts blowing
\n(Tree starts bending)
\nRain starts pouring
\n(No pretending)<\/p>\n
Temperature rising
\n(Then it drops)
\nWeather keeps on changing
\n(Never stops!)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nThe weather forecast
\n(Forevermore uncertain)
\nThe whether forecast
\n(Nevermore… for certain)<\/p>\n

\nOne thing for sure
\n… the future<\/p>\n
(Bringing on the mean extreme)
\n… we ensure.<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]

But when extremes
\nKeep coming through
\nThe forecast changes

About the Song
\nThe distinction between weather and climate has not disappeared. Weather remains the day-to-day state of the atmosphere, while climate describes long-term averages and the underlying behavior of the Earth system. What has changed is the degree to which climate is now shaping weather in real time.<\/p>\n
As greenhouse gases accumulate and the planet stores more heat, every component of the climate system contains more energy. Warmer oceans evaporate more water, the atmosphere holds more moisture, and circulation patterns are increasingly disrupted by changes in temperature gradients between the tropics and the poles. These changes alter not only the intensity of individual weather events but also the persistence and interaction of entire weather patterns.<\/p>\n
The result is a network of reinforcing feedbacks. A warming ocean fuels stronger atmospheric rivers and hurricanes. Droughts increase wildfire activity, while wildfire smoke alters atmospheric chemistry and solar radiation. Reduced snow and ice decrease Earth\u2019s reflectivity, allowing additional warming. Permafrost thaw releases greenhouse gases that contribute to further warming. Each process influences others, producing cascading effects across the Earth system.<\/p>\n
